Thusong Service Centre brings essential services to communities

11June 2015

A new Thusong Service Center in Grabouw was
officially opened yesterday.

The centre which is the 28th one opened
enables government to take essential services closer to public especially in
rural areas.

Provincial MEC of Local Government, Environmental
Affairs and Development Planning Anton Bredell said the erection of a permanent
Thusong center is significant as it will now enable the consistent delivery of
government services directly to the doorstep of the Grabouw community.

Ministerial Spokesperson James-Brent Styan says the
Grabouw area has been showing a big demand for the kind of service which
include the delivering of services like ID books, birth certificates to people who
would normally come to big cities for these services, which is obviously a big
problem and very costly.

“The Thusong Center has been delivered, we are very
excited about the opportunity and the potential”

Styan added that the centre was well received and they
look forward to rolling out more of these tenders’ across the province in the
months and years to come.
